USER MANUAL
RADIO DOCKABLE WINDOW
To enable the ShockLog software to communicate with the RF Base unit, a special “Radio” dockable window is
available. Users are able to open the Radio window from the New Windows option in the window menu. Once
opened, the window can be docked on the screen in the same manner as all of the other windows.
The radio window enables users to view and communicate with all available ShockLog 298RF units that are in
range of the RF Base Unit. Users are be able to download data; send set up files, set the clock of the remote
ShockLog 298RF units; and configure the RF Base unit from this window. A list of ShockLog units connected
through the RF link will automatically populate in the Radio window. In order to communicate with the ShockLog,
the appropriate ShockLog should be highlighted. This step is not necessary when the ShockLog is communicating
with the base unit. When downloading data from the ShockLog over the RF connection, the download time can
take several minutes depending on the amount of data to be downloaded.
The RF Base unit must be plugged into a PC for it to operate. It may take as long as 15 minutes for the base unit
and the ShockLog to establish initial communication.
When an event occurs that is above the thresholds, the ShockLog will transmit an alarm notification to the PC
where the base unit is connected. Alarm notification will include ShockLog serial number for quick identification of
which unit has experienced an event. New alarms will accumulate until “Accept” has been clicked. This allows the
user to acknowledge that the ShockLog has alarms and take actions appropriate to their operating procedures.
Setup Passwords and Security Log can be activated from the View menu at the top of the screen. Once activated
the buttons enable users to setup passwords and view the security log of the attached ShockLog. These
capabilities are described in more detail later in this manual.
